Reviews"...An Impressively Multi-Textured, Satisfyingly Violent Sonic Workout...", 9 out of 10 - "...Reznor's epic portrayal of the endless, aimless inner din....THE FRAGILE is a good old-fashioned strap-on-your-headphones experience....a concept album....He tries to leap into an ocean of sound, but a breakbeat throws him back on shore...", 5 out of 5 - "...relevant as ever....nothing short of astounding....THE FRAGILE is Reznor's bid to be not only successful but also Important. And I think he's made it...", 3 Stars Out of 5-"...Reznor Expertly Sculpts His Sounds like an Electro-Grunge Henry Moore...", "...THE FRAGILE feels freshest, and most like a progression from THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL when the music struggles upward toward some sort of transcendence....hard rock simply doesn't get any smarter, harder, or more ambitious than this." - Rating: A-, 4 stars out of 5 - "...Reznor's version of Pink Floyd's THE WALL...venting his alienation and misery into paranoid studio hallucinations, each track crammed with overdubs until there's no breathing room....it's New Wave with its finger on the trigger...", "It Really Is Reznor at His Multi-Layered, Emotionally Charged, Experimental Best."
